latech15 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I have a serendipity mounted now and would like to switch to a sideways mount. I am leaning towards the Quinn mount. I know that I will have to drill two additional holes, but do the three existing holes in my frame (for the serendipity) line up with three of the holes in the Quinn?

Doug H. Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) I have a serendipity mounted now and would like to switch to a sideways mount. I am leaning towards the Quinn mount.

The 5 hole pattern in .375 center to center and the Serendipity is .75 (.75/2 = .375) center to center so you end up with 2 more holes exactly between the 3 existing holes or you can just use the 3 existing holes and they will fit.

ipscjoe Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 are 3 screws enough to hold?........been wondering that myself........The scope and the mount are easy....Because of where I live; to get two more perfectly spaced, drilled and tapped holes I have to mail my frame off.........Just wondering...

Intel6 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 When I wanted to try the Quinn mount on my open gun I was only able to use 3 screws to mount it. If i decided I liked it I was going to buy a blank mount and get it drilled to my odd hole pattern. I ran the regular Quinn mount for quite a bit of time before finally getting a blank one drilled and it held up fine for me. Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Well, it takes just a few minutes for someone with a drill press... it is a shame to have to ship it back and forth, I think you should be able to find a local guy, if you are reluctant to do it yourself. 3 screws might hold it, might not, people had differing experiences. Worst thing happens - the screw breaks, then you potentially ARE up the creek - depending upon where it breaks. Torch... pliers... scratched frame... potentially drilling it out.

Doug H. Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I would not suggest using only 3 holes for the long run, but you could try it out for a little while to see if you liked it before modifying the frame. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
